Lucent Dossier bullshit

I know these fools are associated with the Do-Lab, but has anyone ever enjoyed one of their sets? Maybe if they played one day out of the weekend, but all three days? I don't understand why they would appeal to... Well, anyone. It's just a waste of a timeslot.

Agreed. My friends and I saw it for the first time this year and we left after 5 minutes.

Re: Lucent Dossier bullshit

The only Lucent show I've seen from beginning to end was in 09 and that one was awesome. I've only seen few minutes of it here and there every other year. I like that sort of thing but I always just have to much other stuff going on to watch it. Except 09, that one was really good and next thing I know I watched the whole thing.

Re: Lucent Dossier bullshit

I usually only end up catching bits of it, but most of what I've scene is pretty cool. If I have a lull in my schedule, I'd rather see cool acrobatics and fire throwing than just sit somewhere waiting for the next act.

Very nice original thought. Not a single other person has ever complained about the Do-Lab.

Idiot.

Who ever said I was complaining about the Do-lab? Learn to read, fucktard.

Anyway... Good to see people that actually have brains agreeing... Lucent Dossier totally killed the vibe after J.Phlip today, disappointing to see no name goobers in masks playing token shit brostep at this festival.

Re: Lucent Dossier bullshit

i think people wouldnt complain as much if it werent for the sound bleed. seriously there were too many gobi sets this year where i was deep in the tent and the do lab still seemed louder than the speakers in the gobi

Lucent dossier is certainly not even nearly the loudest set at the do lab. The only time I noticed sound bleed in the gobi was for Rodriguez, when the bleed was coming from both the outdoor and the lab. It's a shame, but the Gobi has the louder sound system so I feel that the blame must go to the sound guy.

Re: Lucent Dossier bullshit

I like them. A lot. I always have. They changed my life in 2008. I've flown to LA 3 times to see them. But you have to be open minded, if you're not they'd be hard to get i suppose. They are super avant garde. And weird. And fun. This post should be called Lucent Dossier awesomeness.

One of the rites of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival passage is getting hypnotized by the Lucent Dossier Experience.

A staple at the festival for 10 years, the alternative and often circus-like performance troupe will again perform at the center of the festival in the bass-thumping center oasis of The Do LaB.

However, the group has also snagged a spot on one of the festival’s performance stages for this year.

The Lucent Dossier Experience will bring its aerial maneuvers, dance and spellbinding performance to the Gobi tent stage for a special set on Saturday, April 19 and Saturday, April 26, according to a press release from the group.

The troupe recently teamed up with Cirque Du Soleil as well.

The twin editions of Coachella will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio from April 18-20 and April 25-27. Tickets for both weekends have sold out.

Another place to see the group is the Lightning in a Bottle Festival, which was held at the Lake Skinner Recreation Area in Riverside County in July.

This year, the festival will take place May 22-26, but will move to Bradley, Calif. in Monterey County.

This will be the year I make it a point to experience Lucent Dossier, instead of wandering by on the way to another set and then turning around to return for another taste... Just a thought... maybe the tent is GV's way of clearing up the sound bleed issues... Or, maybe the tent provides the foundation for a larger aerial show... Who knows?

Re: Lucent Dossier bullshit

I think this is great! their shows in the Do Lab aren't nearly as good as when they perform at Lightning in a Bottle. I think it's because they are usually on a few small stages at the Do Lab Coachella stage, but when they are on a single stage it's much different/better.

Re: Lucent Dossier bullshit

They have definitely had years which were better than others. 2007 and 2010 were amazing, but there were a couple of years where they went a little overboard with the dubstep, and that kind of killed it for me. I always give them a chance, though.

I hope to someday die of spontaneous human combustion, and in my final moments, I want to give each and every one of you a hug.
